Pre-research Abstract


Introduction: Homeoprophyalxis (HPx) is the use of potentized homeopathic nosodes[1] to activate mild short-lived immune responses so as to stimulate immunity to the relative infectious agent. Past research of Homeoprophylaxis, in small- and large-scale applications, has demonstrated safety and efficacy of nosodes, and improved long-term outcomes.[2], [3], [4], [5], [6] These interventions have set a precedence to continue to research the benefits for current public health concerns.


Past research with HPx nosodes has demonstrated that in the hours and days that follow dosing the activated, mild short-lived, immune response that emerges appears to not only develop general immunity to that disease, in addition, through that process improves the long-term health outcomes of the participant. Within homeopathic philosophy is the principle that the discharges released through acute disease processes liberates the chronic disease state[7]. Furthermore, epidemics and infectious disease outbreaks have historically served as major evolutionary catalysts to human development and the social transformations that have arisen in the wake of these epidemics.[8], [9]


Building on these past results, we will study 8 individual HPx Programs, designed for different age groups and age-related needs, to activate the immune system towards a variety of viral and bacterial disease agents for optimum health in the immune system and associated systems throughout the normal stages of an individual’s lifespan: childhood development, maturation, reproductive years, and aging processes.


Each infectious disease agent has its own evolutionary purpose in the individual for their immunological and adjunctive biological systems development.The working hypothesis is each infectious agent poses a conflict-resolution pathway for the immune system to harmonize when delivered in the right strength.[10] When disease is delivered orally in potency, the individual can gain the benefit of the disease without the suffering of the actual disease. When supported with disease specific homeopathic remedies the immunological responses activated can be even more fully integrated.


Moreover, delivering these doses in sequential dosing patterns may potentiate disease specific beneficial effects.


This research has five goals:

  1. To evaluate HPx Program compliance.
  2. To determine the conflict-resolution process of each infectious agent though dosing with potentized preparations.
  3. To evaluate the safety of each nosode from the dosing responses generated.
  4. To ascertain the benefits of mild immune stimulation throughout the normal stages of an individual’s maturation depending on the HPx Program selected. Vis: childhood development, sexual and neurological maturation, viable reproductive years, aging processes, etc.
  5. To determine an individual’s cumulative health outcome upon completion of the selected HPx Program.

Background: Human immune system development and function is directly related to the adjunctive biologic systems of neurology, digestion, intellectual capacity, discernment, and the human self-individuation process. For the last seven decades, due to direct and indirect immune suppression of normal infectious disease expression from vaccines, antibiotics, immunomodulating drugs, manmade pathogens, and a host of other interventions, there has been a systematic breakdown of normal immune system function in children, young adults, sexually mature adults, and aging populations. All are suffering from a compounded multi-generational, multi-infectious disease miasmatic burden.[11], [12], [13]


The relative health and susceptibility of the individual exposed to infectious disease is the main factor determining the degree and efficacy of the appropriate immune response to that disease. The long-term trajectory of the health of humanity depends on exploring alternative methods of building general health while maintaining immune system integrity, not only for the individual but the population at large.


General consensus in the population is that we need an alternative to the current vaccine model for immune system management. Homeoprophylaxis is one such model.


Method: Registranst will partner with an HPx Practitioner and register into their private practice to get set up with their program of choice. Each HPx Program is designed for the immunological needs of a specific age-group. Each HPx Program consists of sequential dosing, through a scheduled timeframe, with a variety of targeted nosodes separately or in conjunction with associated homeopathic remedies. Each program has its own Inclusion/Exclusion requirements to ensure that participants demonstrate relatively healthy immune system function in relation to the HPx Program registered for. Recorded responses and interpretations within the program specific Dosing Tables will provide the Materia Medica of each agent, the safety of, and the conflict-resolution immune dynamic stimulated. Intake and Exit interviews will determine before and after health status and be used to assess long-term health outcomes.


Results: To be determined.
Conclusions: To be determined.

Selection criteria: Reasonably healthy individuals who satisfy the Inclusion/Exclusion criteria that correspond to recommended age per specific HPx Program. The supervising HPx Practitioner determines HPx Program readiness.


Ethical constraints: All registrants will Consent to Research through the registration process. They acknowledge they are entering research under their own cognizance and waive any liability to FHCi and their HPx Practitioner through the Private Membership Association they have entered. Patrons can withdraw at any time and choose other medical interventions if desired. All Personal Health Information (PHI) will be held in confidence. All Dosing responses will be verified and assessed for safety. All registrants have access to the Ethics Complaint Process and Adverse Event Reporting System.


Study duration: HPx Program registration uptake on all programs will be continuous and in perpetuity unless halted by FHCi. Each program has its recommended time frame for completion. Data entry will be continuous as more doses are administered in their select program. Subsets of data for analysis can be pulled at any point in the process depending on the parameters studied. Entrance into research will be optional after at least 100 registrants have completed that specific HPx Program. Once the 100-registrant threshold for a specific HPx Program has been met, data collected from that program will be sent for analysis and publication.


Duration of study per registrant: According to the set duration of the HPx Program, plus 2 months (4 months for Full Childhood Immunological HPx Program) for extenuating circumstances, plus 6 months after the final dose is administered.


Supervision: Each registrant will be supervised by an HPx Practitioner who will be their point of contact for questions and interventions, should the need arise throughout their HPx program. Entrance into research does not preclude constitutional homeopathic care which may be needed alongside the HPx program.


Recruitment and Registration:

  • Recruitment of participants is through passive selection, direct referral, and social media.
  • Registrants will register through Patronship to FHCi and be assigned a unique file number. Through their Patron Portal they will access the individual HPx Programs and HPx Practitioners.
  • PHI and non-Private Health Information (non-PHI) will be identified within the secure Patron Portal.
  • All data entry will be housed in the Patron Portal.
  • After being assessed per the HPx Program Inclusion/ Exclusion criteria they may register for their selected HPx Program under the supervision of an HPx Practitioner.
  • All HPx Practitioners operate within their own private practice and have ongoing supervision from FHCi.
  • Registrants will schedule to meet with their selected HPx Practitioner in their private practice for an interview and Q and A process to explain how their selected HPx Program works.
  • Each program registered for within the Parton Portal requires a nominal administrative fee to FHCi to access.
  • HPx Practitioners set their HPx Program Supervision fees within FHCi established guidelines for supervision. This fee includes consultation, documentation, All HPx Programs booklet and HPx Kits.
